Thinking about the Hsu STF-1, but the Dayton 10" DIY or the Hsu STF-2 might fit if I worked at it.
The Hsu STF-2 would be bigger than my current Velodyne CHT-8 which just fits in my SMALL living room. The Hsu STF-1 would fit better (not as wide). The Dayton is about the same size in width as the STF-2.
Sub needs careful placement to avoid a tangle with my 2 year old. Also with a small room it will be more easily placed for optimal sound.
If the STF-2 is MUCH better - maybe I could rearrange the living room.
Hsu STF-1...19"H...10"W..16"D......32Hz...$300
Velo cht-8...15.5H.12"W..16.5"D....35Hz...$150
Dayton 10"..14"H...14"W..14.25"D..28Hz...$350
Hsu STF-2...19”H...14”w...18”D......25Hz...$400
Any comments on the importance of subs and the Velodyne are welcome. Use: 90% music, 5% movies and 5% coffee cup stand.
I have Axiom M22s and M2 for a center and may soon get QS4 surrounds.
I looked up some info on subs last year and was left with the impression that in the small and cheap department - Hsu or SVS were the best way to go.
The Velodyne seemed like a decent sub and was only $150, but now I am wondering about the wisdom of upgrading to a $300 or $400 sub.
My room is 91 inches wide or about 7.6 feet wide! It is a living room / kitchen so it is actually 27 feet long and 7.5 feet high.
Thanks - hope the above made sense.
